Welcome Chiff- Chaff in garden

I have gone down with Tonsillitis and a very heavy cold, so too ill too bird (that's why I wasn't twtching the AlpSwifts at Cromer at the weekend) so it was heartening to see a wonderful Chiff- Chaff feeding on insects at 12.30pm today on the rose bushes just in front of the kitchen window as I was preparing a Lem-sip drink. It later flew to the back of the garden and was seen flitting about there and then a bush on the left of the garden near the back. This is the first sighting of one in the garden since 2020 after the horrible new housing estate was built on Fallowfields which led to a massive drop in bio- diversity within the garden (less butterflies, birds, dragonflies).
